Hello, 2017. We welcome you with deepest pride and greatest pleasure. One of the most anticipated films of the new year just dropped a major sneak peek.

Following a leaked video of a toy Belle doll singing “Something There”, Disney bit the bullet and released a high-quality audio sample of Emma Watson singing the bridge of the song. Take a listen!

This marks the first instance of any singing from the film. It’s a major milestone in the project’s publicity cycle. We most recently got the official trailer in November.

Beauty and the Beast hits theaters March 17, 2017.

What do you think of this first clip of Emma Watson as Belle?
